I've ridden three times with mine. I haven't seen any downside. Haven't been able to really assess whether it affects extreme sidehill on harder snow but I can't see any difference in soft with respect to holding an edge. The sled does initiate the roll a little better, no huge game changer but a modest improvement.
I would like to try the 36 or 37 inch front end and compare which helps with the roll initiation more but I don't think it will be worth it this year, marginal snow and I'm looking toward the new one.
